Ryan was back to class after dropping Cassey at her office.
He was able to compel her making her forget everything especially almost being beaten by Spike.
He could remember that cruel night when he was out camping with his friends and they were attacked by a crazy vampire. She turned them and they had to go through so much to adjust to the vampire lifestyle.
They could control their hunger now. That he was sure of but not until he caught Spike trying to feed on Cassey.
He’s worried and hopes something silly does not repeat itself again.
It was hell risky and someone could have seen him.

GIRL’S DORM
The water from the shower poured down heavily on Juicy. The shower wasn’t so good and has been faulty for months. Everyone avoided it but tonight, she had no choice but to wash up with it.
She turned it off when she realized she was clean enough. She grabbed her towel from the door handle and tied it around her body.
As she returns back to the room, she spotted Astrid and Heather sitting on her bed and talking to each other.
She sighed knowing it wasn’t quite a good thing.
She approaches them ditching her wardrobe she would have gone to in order to put on some clothes.
“What’s going on? What are you both doing here? Lights out is in ten minutes.” She said with her hands on her waist.
“We really need to be here to make sure you are alright. That you don’t sneak out or anything.”
“What are you talking about Astrid??” She cut her off.
“Relax, just get dress first.” She urged and she growled dragging her feet to the wardrobe opposite her bed.
After a long fun chat with her friends, they went to their various bed and she went to bed thinking about tomorrow that she would be seeing her parents.
She was fast asleep same with other girls in the dorm when suddenly, the doors opened and the four boys intruded.
The boys searched around except for Ryan who headed straight for Juicy’s bed.
He grabbed the cup of water on the drawer next to her bed and emptied it on her face.
She woke up instantly and glanced at him.
“Get up.” He ordered and she was still looking at him with sleepy eyes.
He compelled her with his eyes immediately and she got up slowly.
Spike chose Astrid, for the first time.
He had never taken her before.
Darrell and Justin picked two other random girls who went by the name, Rooney and Shayne.
They left after the girls had changed. Astrid and Juicy didn’t say much to each other because their heads were messed up. They had nothing to complain about.
“Tonight is going to be so much fun.” Astrid said touching her hair.
“I know, right?” Juicy agreed smiling which was something she wasn’t used to in the real world.
They were able to leave the school and board a taxi.
After a while, they arrived at the club. Each boy holding his date for identification as one of them.
The girls were definitely being themselves but they would forget all about it the moment they return.
They get taken into the dark room and the boys are able to feed. Juicy found it strange and couldn’t take her eyes off Ryan.
The way he attacked the man sucking from him like his life depended on it. His eyes bloodshot and his face very pale.
Whiter than any normal human.
The boys were careful enough not to drain all from the bodies. It would cost them.
A lady suddenly walked past Juicy quacking her shoulder that she almost fell but was able to maintain her balance. She saw the ladies huge hair and rugged dressing – torn shirt and loose pants.
“So, my boys are here!” She announced referring to the four boys.
Ryan stopped sucking and left the body. He looked at her, emotionlessly.
She was the one that had turned them into vampires and also introduced them to the club.
She is at good terms with them but something in him still quests for revenge for what she had done to them. Stopping them from having a normal life.
“Nice to see you too, Maddy.” Spike said holding onto Astrid and approaching the duo.
Maddy placed her hand on Ryan’s shoulder trying to start up a conversation.
“How has school been? Anything interesting happened today??” She asked grinning.
“No.” Ryan replied coldly as his eyes was blinking back to normal.
Juicy was instantly pulled away from the dim room by someone unnoticed and she was stunned to see it was a man very huge and with muscles so large.
She flinched startled so much.
“No!” She yelled though she had no idea what the man was up to.
His canine teeth surfaced and black veins popped up at the corners of his eyes. He was prepared to feed on her.
Ryan was still inside and yet to notice that she was gone.
He suddenly remembered the moment a vampire wearing green walked pass them.
The green shirt reminded him of Juicy’s green eyes. He rushed outside and met the the strange man struggling with Juicy.
“Ryan!” She called out on seeing him.
“I will feed from her and you won’t stop me.” He gently told Ryan who smiled and folded his hands.
“Go ahead.” He simply urged him sounding relaxed.
He was prepared for anything.

AT HAVEWOOD.
Juicy’s parents were done preparing the goodies they prepared for their precious daughter.
They couldn’t wait to give her a tight hug tomorrow.
Her grandmother had visited and she brought just one thing for her – an ugly old bracelet, her mother called it.
She was expecting something quite tangible or fancy. Such that Juicy liked but instead, what her mother- inlaw gave her to give to her daughter was an unattractive bracelet.
She sighed and also put it in the bag she would be leaving with tomorrow. There was nothing she could do but the thought of tomorrow had her on her toes.
